early in April in rows 18 to 24 inches apart and 4-inch deep. 
Thin out the plants to stand 6 inches apart in the row. The seed 
germinates slowly, plants taking from three to four weeks to make 
their appearance and sometimes failing to come up in dry weather. 
To insure prompt germination, soak the seed a few hours in 
warm water, or sprout in damp earth, and sow when it swells 
or sprouts. For winter use, protect in a frame or light cellar. 
One ounce of seed for 150 feet of drill. 
Sow thickly
